    I got the same one last week! Minus the bed extension.

    You're gonna love it. It has taken my turning to new levels I never thought possible with my old lathe.

    You'll immediately love it when you turn your first... flagpole or javelin or whatever you're gonna do with all that length!

    Cheers,
    Luke

    A Jet Lathe?

    I am quite partial to Jet equipment, not the very best, but damn good quality for the money. I wish you well with your new telegraph pole capable lathe and look forward to items you have produced
    Sincerely
    Willy

    Looks like a very capable lathe. Any hint of what long projects you have in mind?
    Regards
